**You and Elias Pettersson became pretty good friends over the time you played together in Vaxjo right?**
– That’s right
**What are your thoughts on him over the coming years, keeping in mind how good he was this last season?**
– I know him well enough to say that he always wants to improve and I think he might end up with 107 or 108 point this year perhaps? It depends on the team and whether they can improve too. I know he’s had a great summer and he continues his project to become stronger and a more dynamic player than he already is. He has all the tools you can have as a hockey player and he will raise the bar each year.
**People are putting his name forward as a potential Captain for Vancouver Canucks. Do you think he would be a good subject for captaincy?**
– I really think he has grown as a human and he’s getting more and more confident. A captain can look really different. He sets a great precedence for the younger players, very professional and dedicated to improve. Considering these things, I absolutely think he would be a top subject for the captaincy – if they also can agree on a new contract.

Plot twist: He meant Brent Gretzky
